Relaxing by the fire with a back issue of the Rolling Stone, as dues-paid members of the country club are wont to do, I learned some rather distressing information about Denise that I'd like to share:
"At least one casualty was admitted to Mt. Zion Hospital in San Francisco — Denise Jewkes of the Ace of Cups. She had a fractured skull.
She had undergone emergency surgery to have a jagged chunk of skull (about the size of a quarter) removed. This was over her left eye, in her forehead, below her hairline. Because of the position, nothing more than a local anesthetic was possible. The doctors told her she could have died from the injury.
"Somebody threw a beer bottle way up in the air and it came down on me and knocked me unconscious," she said. "There were lots of beer cans still full being thrown around, and that was the stupidest thing going on. I was between the stage and the bus to the right, and the vibes weren't very good at all around there. It was very packed, and more people were always walking through, stepping on us and trying to find a place to sit when there obviously wasn't one. There was no way. It seemed kind of cool early in the morning, like it was going to be a nice day and was going to get a lot better, but as the day went on it just wasn't there at all."
